that's normal not finding the game isn't, though! especially since it seems to find it and then realise it's not a server but not realise it's a client 🤔 looks like something's funky with steam your game is failing to attach to steam properly

Did you move the game files outside of Steam?

LogInit: Build: ++FactoryGame+rel-early-access-CL-273254 bruh You either manually rolled back to an old version (which the docs make very clear isn't supported), or you're using an old crack.

Do you by any chance have auto updates turned off for Satisfactory? And has it been a rather long time since you last played the game? Verify your install and/or update the game. Early Acess isn't "a thing" anymore, there's just the game, and experimental; which you need to opt in and re-install the game if you're on steam. So, you can either update the game to 1.0 or check the games properties in steam and enable the "beta" which will prompt you to install the experimental branch of 1.0.
